Provides an Exceptionally Smooth Shave
Philips Norelco’s best shave yet, the SensoTouch 3D gives you the ultimate shaving experience. Its GyroFlex 3D system has three dynamic parts that move independently, flexing outward, pivoting around, and tilting inward, following the natural contours of your face.
Also, the UltraTrack shaving heads catch every hair in just a few strokes with three specialized shaving tracks: slots for the long hairs, channels for the longer hairs, and holes for the shortest stubble. And the Patented Super Lift&Cut dual blade system lifts hairs to cut comfortably below skin level. This razor gets the job done without leaving any stray hairs or stubble behind.

Convenient Touch Screen Display
The SensoTouch 3D has an easy-to-use touchscreen display that shows exactly how many minutes of shaving time remain before the battery needs to be recharged. You can also check whether the battery level, charging status, and the cleaning indicator at a glance. There’s even a replacement-head indicator that helps ensure every shave is a close shave.
Cordless, Travel-Friendly Design
The SensoTouch 3D charges in one hour and provides up to 60 minutes (or a maximum of 20 days) of shaving time. A display lets you know how much power remains in the lithium-ion battery and when you need to replace the blades.
The SensoTouch 3D is completely cord free, has a travel lock, and comes with a protective pouch, so you can toss it in your bag, briefcase, or suitcase when you’re on the go.
